About this property
Traditional cottage mountain house in Arouca - large backyard field
Rustic house, from 1851, located in the heart of Albergaria da Serra, in Arouca. A typical village at 1033 meters high, very old, consisting mostly of Serrano-type houses, made of granite stone and thatched and shale roofs. It is common, several times a day, to come across the paved paths of the village, with the transit of grazing animals, namely the Arouquesa Cows, a certified and protected species, bred in the valleys and hills of Serra da Freita. Extremely quiet place with beautiful natural landscapes. Located 200 meters from the river Caima, with clear and crystalline waters, with beautiful wells for bathing, about 500m from the river beach of the same river and 1000m from the famous Frecha da Mizarela, the highest waterfall in Portugal. Also close to other attractions in the region, such as the Paiva walkways, the Arouca suspension bridge, the parideiras stones, and so many other places of interest in this beautiful municipality of Arouca. Center of Arouca14 km of distance and Porto 60km.

Le lieu est tres beau et reposant. Les hotes sont reactifs et très gentils. Notre arrivée a été laborieuse. Nous ne trouvions pas l endroit apres 11 h de route avec deux enfants. Nous n avions pas reçu le message whatsapp. Une machine à laver serait vraiment un plus. Un soin particulier devrait etre apporté au menage surtout aux sols.
Hubo un temporal de lluvia y frío y los propietarios nos facilitaron estufas, radiadores y una revisión de la chimenea para ponerla en funcionamiento. Nos hicieron la estancia muy agradable.
La ubicación maravillosa. En una aldea típica de montaña.
La casa acogedora y espaciosa, al jardín y a la barbacoa no le hacen justicia las fotos, son de 10
Para repetir.
